A Cup of Joe
November 19, 2008
If your like me, a morning cup of Joe is a ritual. Reportedly, I share my love of Joe with 1.6 billion other cups worldwide every day. It’s nice to know, in my own kitchen I share a ritual that know no boundaries.
Nancy Oakley authored a great summary of the influence coffee makes worldwide. Found in Delta-Sky online, Oakley provides fellow Joe lovers a bit of history, nostalgia, and how Joe stands today. It’s amazing through all the technological advances, society evolution (labor, race, and sex), kingdoms fall and rise, coffee is still on top worldwide.
Sure a cup of Joe has transformed into a bit more frothier, cooler, creamier, and a variety of containers. When it comes down to it, a cup of Joe is still enjoyed in the same way today as it was hundreds of years ago. Warm, brewed, and shared over great conversation.
Next time, when grabbing your cup of Joe, know that you are apart of a long-term tradition that transcends boundaries of all types. A cup of Joe is here to stay, forever.
